I sent an email to the designer asking about the fixed width and avatars. It takes time and testing to do stuff with the template edits. Be patient. Can you just list what you want I'll get to work asap.. so he put in ONE mod (a really simple one, took 3 minutes), and said "he was gonna email the template owner for help"...of course he never did any more work. He worn't return my private messages, and I am now in a dispute with him in paypal. Thats the story..my advice....save your time and your money RATCHET WON"T DO THE WORK!
